Frankenstein. Part Eight.

Available for over a year

The Creature continues his story of his time with the De Lacey family, where he becomes fascinated with their way of life. From the shadows, the Creature carefully observes the family, unlocking the mysteries of language, human behaviour and the complexity of society. Yet the more he learns, the more aware he becomes of his own isolation, and his desperate longing for acceptance and companionship grows even stronger. Brilliant young scientist Victor Frankenstein defies the natural order, piecing together a living creature from stolen body parts. But horror instantly replaces triumph when he looks upon his grotesque creation. A relentless game of cat-and-mouse ensues between the desperate Frankenstein and the monster he abandoned. The Haunted Library is open. Come in. Stay awhile.
